All this talk on gun reform had gotten me uneasy. Every dictator has taken the guns when they took over... Do you think it happening in America will be any different. The Only thing that a gun reform would do is take guns from the...

DW Davis @myklj999 If 2A were to be taken literally, we would have a right to those things. It can be argued that through the National Guard states do have those things. I find it odd, as a writer and language arts teacher, that those who oppose gun control ignore or...

Okay, I often see these posts around here, and how people wish (both domestic and abroad) how we'd lose our guns completely (without any degree of wiggle room). These people all have good intentions, but for the life of them,...

Morgan @Belligerentkj I fully agree with all the points. I think corporal punishment was a big turning point. I blame the lawyers even more than that. Lawsuits gave people the ability to threaten others. If a bully is tormenting a child, and that child strikes back...

Morgan Very true. A lot of people are backed into a corner and lack a way out, so they turn to violence instead. I think a large amount of hate on the current administration has to deal with people that were expecting legalized drugs (of certain types) and were...

Does the marching and protesting over guns and violence really solve anything? To each his or her own. I am sure some people have good reasons for doing this and really think it will solve problems. Others love to make noise...

In my mind's eye I see teachers of the not too distant future wearing gun straps on their person and look like detectives with the gun hidden under their jackets on a arm strap. What do you think?

celticeagle People do need to get together on this. I think it was the RO's job to go in the school and let the kids and the school and the community down big time. The federal government is screwed up right now.

Gary Marsh Learning is a life long curve which we should absorb like a sponge. I sometimes find that people tend to underestimate their true abilities rather than overestimate. Of course there are some that are the exception and are quite blinkered and delusional making...

Tacia Elise I really like this analysis, you pointed out things that I never noticed. I can agree that no one elected for president is a saint and had to perform some dirty work to obtain the position. It doesn't surprise me that the Clinton's and Trump had business...
